[PATCH] [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Don't try to transition if the pstate is incorrect or there is no freq for it.

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
Date: Wed Jun 15 2011 - 11:08:02 EST


This patch auguments the pstate transition code to error out
(instead of returning 0) when a incorrect pstate is provided.

It also checks whether the frequency for the pstate is
incorrect and if so errors out.
